Going to the movies in Syracuse and Central New York this weekend? Here's a list of what's new in theaters, plus listings for special showings in the area including the fifth annual Hamilton Film Festival, which runs through Sunday at the Hamilton Movie Theater:

New movies in theaters

"The Smurfs 2" (animated family; 105 min; rated PG)
Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria totally "blue" it again, but kids will be excited to hear Katy Perry, George Lopez, Christina Ricci, Jeff Foxworthy, Kenan Thompson and Shaq among the voices in the 3D animated "Smurfs" sequel. Smurfette (Perry) has been kidnapped by evil sorcerer Gargamel (Azaria) over a secret spell that can turn his Naughties into real Smurfs. The reviews range from "smurfing ridiculous" to "more punishment than pleasure," but if you go Fandango has a $5 off coupon for families who buy four tickets or more to help ease the pain.
» See it at: Destiny USA, Great Northern and Shoppingtown.
» Reviews: BAD. 35 out of 100 (Metacritic), 14% out of 100 (Rotten Tomatoes).

"2 Guns" (action, comedy; 109 min; rated R)
Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington team up as a DEA agent and a naval intelligence officer who join forces after a failed attempt to infiltrate a drug cartel. Two twists: Neither new the other was an undercover agent and, despite the film's title, there's a lot more than two guns. Reviews have been a mixed bag, but fans of buddy cop flicks will get a kick out of the stars' humorous chemistry, being compared to a modern-day "48 Hours."

» Reviews: OK. 55 out of 100 (Metacritic), 60% out of 100 (Rotten Tomatoes).

"Sharknado" (horror, sci-fi; 86 min; TV-14)
Tara Reid ("American Pie") and Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills, 90210") fight flying sharks in a tornado that ravages Los Angeles. The campy TV movie was so popular on SyFy (and Twitter) that it's being shown on the big screen for one night only Friday at midnight. No one's raving about the ridiculous plot or the cheap CGI, so if you go you're going because you a) love a so-bad-it's-good movie and b) want to tell your children one day "I was there, I survived Sharknado."

» Reviews: MIXED. 4.8 out of 10 (Metacritic), 89% out of 100 (Rotten Tomatoes).

"The Way, Way Back" (comedy, drama; 103 min; PG-13)
"Little Miss Sunshine" co-stars Steve Carell and Toni Collette reunite for another indie dramedy, this time about a teen who strikes an unlikely friendship with the quirky manager (Sam Rockwell) at a water park. Also starring Allison Janney, Amanda Peet and Rob Corddry, critics say the film is "genuinely surprising" and "witty" despite its formulaic coming-of-age premise.
» See it at: Destiny USA, Manlius Art Cinema (open captions Saturday at noon).
» Reviews: GOOD. 67 out of 100 (Metacritic), 83% out of 100 (Rotten Tomatoes).
